It was after ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting going over the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Grimes Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. A job in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

Our assistance is completely mobile and we have the ability to come out regardless of wherever you are and have the automobile drained, emptied and running just as before in no time - and for an acceptable price!

Our Services:

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Worcestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Grimes Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will fix any of the most common issues that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Grimes Hill - Grimes Hill Petrol in Diesel

A customer contacted us from his residence on a close in Grimes Hill. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a MINI) is not running and is generating awful sounds when I turn the key." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said he would be sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
